On Friday's "Jeopardy," we'll see whether three masterminds who can name all the countries bordering Bolivia, or which Brontë wrote "Jane Eyre," can run the table on the Garden State.

The New Jersey Hall of Fame will have a whole category to itself on Friday. The show airs at 7 p.m. on ABC.

Who is Buzz Aldrin? Yogi Berra? Walt Whitman? Grover Cleveland? Toni Morrison? Dorothy Parker? Tommy James? Queen Latifah? A big payday could await the contestant who puts the correct answer in the form of a question — and is quick on the signalling device.

"It's a top to bottom category, $200 to $1,000," said Hall of Fame spokesman Tom Skevin. "This is a fun way for the New Jersey Hall of Fame to get its name out there. This is great exposure, absolutely."

The exposure is needed, Skevin said.

The New Jersey Hall of Fame has inducted more than 140 worthy Garden Staters (they need to have been state residents for a minimum of five years) since the organization was founded in 2005. But it's only now that the Hall — currently housed in a 850-square-foot trailer — is getting a permanent home. In 2020, if all goes as planned, a $10 million Hall of Fame museum will open on the lower level of the much-ballyhooed American Dream entertainment complex in the Meadowlands.

Only problem: the organization has raised only about $8.5 million of the $10 million. They need more funds. So "Jeopardy's" nationwide platform could be a blessing at this particular moment, Skevin said.

Friday's show was taped on Jan. 25. The Hall of Fame category comes up on the first round.

This isn't the first time that our corner of the world has been figured on "Jeopardy." Hackensack came up in an "H on the map" category in April, 2018. And in June 2017, Bergen County's blue laws came up in a question in Double Jeopardy -- somewhat controversially, since the "right" answer given by a contestant, that the laws prohibit vendors from selling "anything on Sundays," was deemed wrong by many in this part of the world.

How did the New Jersey Hall of Fame get on "Jeopardy's" radar? No idea, Skevin said.

No, it's not a plug. "Jeopardy" reached out to the Hall, not the other way around. And nobody in the organization helped "Jeopardy's" writers to frame the questions, Skevin said. It's all on them.

"When we asked how this happened, they told us, 'Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason, it's just the luck of the draw,'" Skevin said. "Perhaps when somebody from the show was going through Newark airport, they saw one of the Hall of Fame displays."
